  AZ – Premium Blue Aluminum Oxide • Sharp aluminum oxide grain with premium CGW bond offers excellent versatility and performance. • Exceptionally fast and cool cutting characteristics suitable for grinding heat sensitive, alloy steels and mold steels (high speed steels over 55RC). • Free cutting design pulls the heat away from the part. • Friable grain for cooler grinding. Requires minimal dressing and holds its form well. Surface Grinding Tips There are many applications in surface grinding, from heavy stock removal to a very precise finish and size requirements. Matching the right wheel with the application is very important to achieve the needs of the grinder. There are many ways to meet these needs. If a fine finish is required a finer wheel may be used. Many times an operator may use one wheel to do the job of many changing the speed and feed of the wheel. Grit Size / Grain Size Combinations Grit Size: All abrasives are sized to a national standard and are assigned a numerical designation. The higher the number, the finer the grit size. When selecting grit size, the following should be considered: Use Coarse Grit: • For rapid stock removal Use Fine Grit: • For form holding • For large areas of contact • For small areas of contact • When finish is not important • For fine finishes • For softer materials • For hard, brittle materials
